SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 74%,939, dated November 24, 1903.

Application filed as]. 2, 1903. Serial No. 145,770. (No model.)

T0 at whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SYDNEY G. REYNOLDS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Louisville, in the cou nty of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mucilage-Jars, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in mucilage-jars, and has for its object to provide means whereby a portion of the mucilage maybe elevated to a point above the bulk or main body.

Another object is to provide a mucilage-jar that can be used without danger of the mucilage comingin contact with the mouth of the jar, and thereby gumming and clogging the same; also, to provide means whereby the mucilage in the jar will be maintained at a fixed level and for keeping the jar closed when not in use, thus reducing the evaporation of the mucilage to a minimum.

A further object is to provide a mucilagejar with a top which when raised will automatically raise a small cup adapted to elevate a portion of the mucilage to a point above the main body and to automatically return the separated portion to the main body when the top or cover is lowered or replaced.

A still further object is to provide a 1nucilage-jar with a removable reservoir which when exhausted may be cast aside and replaced by another, thus avoiding the necessity of refilling, as is the case with the mucilage-jars now in use.

With these objects in view and such others as may hereinafter appear my invention consists in the particular construction of the various parts and in the novel manner of combination and arrangement of said parts, all of which will be fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

Before proceeding further with a detail description I desire to distinctly state and emphasize that although I have shown in the accompanying drawings and described in the following specific description certain component and cooperative parts which I deem sufficiently improved and operative to carry out the fundamental principles herein incorporated I do not confine myself to the exact details, since various minor changes may be resorted to without sacrificing any ofthe advantages of this invention.

In the drawings, forminga part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side elevation. Fig. 2 is a sectional View.

Referring by letters to the drawings, A represents the main body of the jar, which may be made in any shape, style, size, and material found most desirable. Formed in this main body portion is a reservoir B, having a channel 0 leading therefrom to a recess D, adapted to receive a removable reservoir E, which consists of a substantiallybottle-shaped receptacle placed therein in an inverted. position. It will thus be seen that by such construction the mucilage in the jar will be maintained at a fixed level,

Mounted upon the top of the jar adjacent to the reservoir B isan upright or standard F, the free end of which is beveled or wedgeshaped, as shown at G, the object of which will be hereinafter explained. Fitted around the standard F and adapted to slide thereupon is a sleeve H, having secured thereto a dependent arm I, adapted to project down into the reservoir B. This arm I carries a small cup J, which is provided with a series of apertures K in its wall near the rim, so as to provide means whereby the mucilage may be admitted to the cup. It is also provided with an arm L, the free end of which terminates in a loop M, adapted to receive the brush N and to maintain the same in a fixed position.

Pivoted to the sleeve H is a top 0, adapted to cover the reservoirB. This top is provided with a notch P, adapted to fit around the handle of the brush N, and a recess Q, adapted to engage the end G of the standard F when the top has been raised and elevated. It will be readily seen that upon raising and elevating the top the scoop will be automatically raised and upon lowering or replacing the top the scoop will be automatically lowered.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a mucilage-jar, the combination of a fixed and a removable reservoir, the removable reservoir consisting of an inverted bottle-shaped receptacle, a standard mounted adjacent to the fixed reservoir, a sleeve mounted reservoir, a sleeve adapted to slide upon the upon thestandard, a top pivoted to the sleeve, standard, a cup carried by the said sleeve, a cup carried by the said sleeve, a recess in 1 a dependent arm terminating in a loop carthe top adapted to engage the free end of the standard, substantially as specified.

2. In a mucilage-jar, the combination of a sleeve, a recess in the top adapted to engage the free end of the standard, substantially as fixed and a removable reservoir, the removspecified.
